Headlines breaking in the
news this week, August 18, 2013: “CIA Document Maps Area 51, But No
Mention of UFOs.”

The hot topic keeps coming
back. Renowned UFO researchers, lecturers, and investigative
journalists, Donald R. Schmitt and Thomas J. Carey, have produced a
timely new book full of a startling body of research pointing to
Hanger 18 as the storage site of fragments of the supposedly downed
alien craft and bodies of crew members. They claim that some of the
artifacts are now stored in a repository in the foreign technology
division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. They have compiled a
mesmerizing research work that explores this sixty-six-year-old
mystery.

When you drive through New
Mexico today, there is no Area 51. All signage has long been removed.
Cover-up or coincidence? Whether readers recognize the existence of
UFOs or not, they will know a well-researched, well-written book when
they see one. Readers would expect nothing less from the authors of
the best-selling WITNESS TO ROSWELL. With their new book, INSIDE THE
REAL AREA 51 THE SECRET HISTORY OF WRIGHT-PATTERSON, the authors
explore the alleged 1947 Roswell, New Mexico alien crash in
remarkable depth. Twenty-one chapters, a highly detailed Notes
section, Bibliography, and Index spread out over nearly 300 pages
with dozens of photographs and illustrations. For UFO enthusiasts,
this book is a treasure trove.

Well-documented accounts
of alien visitations have abounded for decades, but many people
consider these to be hearsay since no official disclosure has ever
been revealed by any country on our planet. Such accounts, if they
are true, may always be relegated to such status as long as official
explanations negate the very idea. Some people that believe in the
reality of beings from another world will probably have to wait for
some unexpected, high profile, and undeniable future visitation
before previous eyewitness accounts will ever be verified. Until that
day, they will have to be contented with savoring tenacious efforts
by investigative reporters such as Schmitt and Carey that attempt to
record and reveal a compelling body of evidence in lieu of convincing
bodies of aliens.
